![]() It’ll probably be close to a week before it’ll be even close to having all the tools installed that I use… So you’re over the HW failure and your new box is up and running?Īccording to descriptions, Praat is actually a voice synthesizer, and highly modifiable.ĮSpeak is used only for the text recognition, and then passes its result to Praat for the actual audio.Īm typing this post on my new machine now… Default Festival voices are better just by a hair, I’d say, but it can be improved, it’s just not that simple for me with the downgrading, patching, compiling,… ![]() Well, I’m not certain about it, but I did not find any better voices or improvement of sampling for the espeak. ![]() I’m not sure if you meant it that way Praat is not a synthethizer, it acutally uses espeak, which I ruled out due to terrible voices. So, I would like to ask: Is there any proven way to get quality TTS voices on OpenSUSE Leap? What should I do? But running into difficulties with the patches being for another distro, I’m not sure how to apply them. Though, I remember the old SuSE days about 20 years ago, where we had to build a lot of programs with. NET) and I’m not accustomed to patch and build Linux programs at all. There I spent another amount of time, so far without results, because I’m not a Linux developer (thankfully at last. Next, I found patched voices that work with Festival 2.4 and patches for Festival itself. And seemingly, this happens over and over again and they say Festival does that on purpose to push their offer for commercial voices. To cut story short, after a lot of research, I found that Festival’s (2.5) compatibility with HTS voices is broken. (set! voice_default 'voice_nitech_us_bdl_arctic_hts)īut it didn’t work and festival crashed on startup, everytime I tried to use the HTS voice. I then modified festival.scm to use ALSA and US BDL HTS-type voice: (t 'Audio_Command \"aplay -q -c 1 -t raw -f s16 -r $SR $FILE\") ![]() Festvox diphone (default, poor quality)Īfter doing some more research, I opted for the japaneese Nitech HTS voices (which seem to be the best quality and least demanding), downloaded them and installed.Searching, I learned that there are few types of voices, like: However, after installation I found that the default voices are poor. I was then pleased with online samples of Festival, so i set on testing it. Itried espeak-ng, which was a default one in OpenSUSE, but it has poor quality voices and when searching online I didn’t find any information on improving it. I need to get a reasonable TTS voice(s) working out of speach-dispatcher (SD). ![]()
